Then I sometimes find it hard 3 (stay) awake the next day. I know it is important to finish all my homework on time. However, I hardly have 4 (some) spare time for my hobbies. I often doubt 5 it is worth 6 (spend) so much time on homework. I dream of 7 long holiday so that I could have 8 (much) time for my hobbies. What should I do? Can you offer me some 9 (suggest)? I hope to hear 10 you soon.

For many people, the balance (平衡) between online and real life is broken.

These friendly terms are widely 1 in Chinese internet culture. And now, a new word is trending (流行的): “Laoji.” Recently, the phrase “Love laoji, see you tomorrow!” has been 2 on social media, especially among young people. Laoji is a warm and funny way to say “yourself.” It sounds like you are talking to a(n) 3 friend. But, what does it truly mean to “love laoji”? It means learning to be 4 to yourself. In moments of stress or when 5 in comparison, “love laoji” gently reminds us to accept that nobody is perfect and to care for our own feelings. If you are tired, let yourself rest. If you are 6 , tell yourself that it’s okay — this feeling won’t last forever. Many young people like this phrase because it feels supportive, not like a strict lesson. It helps them talk to themselves in a 7 way, reduce worry, and build inner strength. Far from being 8 , loving yourself means treating yourself with honesty and courage, especially when things are hard. “Love laoji” is 9 just an online trend. It 10 us to be our own best friend. So why not start today? Before you go to sleep, you can say to yourself: “Love laoji, see you tomorrow!” 1．A．organized B．written C．recognized D．heard 2．A．spreading B．showing C．making D．taking 3．A．old B．amazing C．close D．rich 4．A．confident B．kind C．outgoing D．pleased 5．A．found B．sensed C．thrown D．lost 6．A．down B．happy C．excited D．surprised 7．A．scared B．positive C．careful D．brave 8．A．proud B．active C．confident D．selfish 9．A．better than B．more than C．other than D．rather than 10．A．suggests B．makes C．asks D．encourages 【答案】 1．C 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．D 6．A 7．B 8．D 9．B 10．D 【导语】本文介绍网络热词“爱你老己”的流行及含义，鼓励年轻人关爱自我，建立内心秩序，关注心理健康。 1．句意： 这些友好的称呼在中国互联网文化中被广泛认可。 根据“You’ve probably said—or at least heard—‘Hey Laotie!’ or ‘Hello Laoge!’”可知，前文提到这些称呼大家都听过说过，说明它们在中国网络文化中被广泛接受认可，recognized“认可”符合语境。 2．句意： 最近，“爱你老己，明天见！”这句话在社交媒体上传播开来。 根据“a new word is trending”及语境可知，这个短语正在流行和扩散。应用spreading“传播/扩散”。showing“展示”、making“制作”、taking“拿取”均无法准确表达流行语在网络蔓延的状态。 3．句意： 听起来就像你在和一个亲密的朋友说话。 根据“Laoji is a warm and funny way to say ‘yourself’.”可知，这是一种温暖有趣的自称，模拟的是与好友交谈的语境。应用close“亲密的”。old“老的”、amazing“令人惊奇的”、rich“富有的”均不能体现这种亲昵感。 4．句意： 它的意思是学会对自己友善。 根据“love laoji”及后文“care for our own feelings”可知，这是关于爱护自己。应用kind“友善的/仁慈的”，构成be kind to sb.“对某人友善”的搭配。confident“自信的”、outgoing“外向的”、pleased“高兴的”虽为褒义词，但不符合“爱自己”的核心定义。 5．句意： 在压力时刻或在比较中感到迷茫时，“爱老几”温柔地提醒我们要接受没有人是完美的。 根据“In moments of stress”及“in comparison”可知，此处指在攀比中迷失自我。应用lost“迷失的/困惑的”，构成feel lost“感到迷茫”。found“发现”、sensed“感觉”、thrown“扔”均不符合心理状态的描述。 6．句意： 如果你情绪低落，告诉自己没关系——这种感觉不会永远持续。 根据“If you are tired, let yourself rest.”的并列结构及后文安慰的语气可知，此处指心情不好。应用down“情绪低落的”。happy“快乐的”、excited“兴奋的”、surprised“惊讶的”均不需要此类安慰。 7．句意： 它帮助他们以一种积极的方式与自己对话，减少担忧，建立内在力量。 根据“feels supportive”及“reduce worry”可知，这是一种正向的互动。应用positive“积极的”。scared“害怕的”、careful“小心的”、brave“勇敢的”不如positive能概括这种支持性的心理建设 8．句意： 爱自己绝不是自私，而是意味着用诚实和勇气对待自己。 根据“Far from being...”及后文“treating yourself with honesty and courage”的转折关系可知，此处要排除对爱自己的负面误解。应用selfish“自私的”。proud“骄傲的”、active“活跃的”、confident“自信的”均为中性或褒义，不构成“Far from”所需的强烈反差。 9．句意： “爱老几”不仅仅是一个网络潮流。 根据“It ... us to be our own best friend.”可知，它具有更深层的意义，超越了单纯的潮流。应用more than“不仅仅是/超过”。better than“比……好”、other than“除了”、rather than“而不是”均不符合递进逻辑。 10．句意： 它鼓励我们成为自己最好的朋友。 根据“So why not start today?”的呼吁语气可知，这是一个正向的推动。应用encourages“鼓励”。suggests“建议”通常接doing或that从句，不接sb to do；makes“使得”语气过强且通常接do；asks“要求”不如encourages贴切。 阅读短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For some reason, many parents in China have to send their kids to a boarding school. Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu are such parents. They have worked in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province for years. To 1 the family, the couple work very hard and even offer to work overtime.

We can share many things about our life and study on it with our friends. Recently, some students had a discussion on whether to allow our parents to see our Moments. YES NO Laura, 15: I think it’s meaningful to let parents see our Moments. As teenagers, sometimes we do need our parents’ help, especially in terms of social experiences. What’s more, shutting them off from Moments makes the generation gap (代沟) bigger and bigger, while inviting them in can help us to communicate and feel closer to each other. Robin, 14: I don’t allow my parents to see my Moments. Everyone needs some privacy and we all have our own secrets and lifestyles. If my parents could see my posts, they may push me around with their ideas, which would be unacceptable to me even though it would show their love and care. After all, some kind of distance is better. Jason, 16: Most of my friends keep parents out of their Moments. However, I feel happy when my parents comment on my posts in my Moments. It shows their love and care for me. It also makes them happy and stops them from worrying about me. We’ll leave them when we grow up. Why not cherish (珍惜) every chance to be there for each other? Stella, 15: I believe blocking (屏蔽) our parents in Moments is not a bad idea. Online social media is mainly a way of communicating with friends of our own age. We can have more freedom to develop our thoughts and interests. Besides, we don’t have to worry that our parents are there. If they can read our daily posts, it sometimes may create a lot of misunderstandings. Do you have your own opinions about this? Post your ideas to our website https://weixin.com. 1．What may Laura think of allowing parents to see the Moments? A．Useless. B．Common. C．Helpful. D．Terrible 2．How many students agree parents show love and care through Moments? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 3．Who do you think may keep parents out of Moments?

Or suddenly feeling down without knowing why? But why is the feeling so common among teens? Maybe you’re starting a new school and not able to see old friends. Getting good grades or wanting to be better in sports or other activities can be a concern (烦心事) for many teens. Being accepted by friends is important. Teens also may notice, for the first time, a sense of distance from parents and family. You may feel you want to be on your own and make your own decisions, but it can also seem a bit lonely at times. Another important cause for mood changes is biology. When puberty (青春期) begins, the body starts producing hormones (荷尔蒙). These hormones cause physical changes in the body. But at the same time, they also seem to cause mood changes. Here are some things you can do that might make those bad moods a bit easier to deal with. ●Remember you’re not alone. Although not every teen experiences mood changes to the same degree, they are common. ●Talk to people you trust. Friends can help each other by realizing that they’re not alone in their feelings. Talking to parents is important, too. Parents can share their own experiences dealing with bad moods. Teachers are often good resources and a doctor can help to answer questions about development. ●Get enough sleep. Though it can be hard to find enough time, getting enough rest is very important. Being tired can lead to more sadness. ●Create. Taking part in some kinds of activities, like building something out of wood, or starting an art or music piece. 1．________ may not make some teens be in bad moods. A．Study pressure B．Missing old friends C．The sense of distance from parents D．Getting enough sleep 2．It’s easier to deal with your mood changes by ________. ①realizing they are common        ②explaining your feelings to people you trust ③playing computer games        ④being creative ⑤starting a new school        ⑥getting enough sleep A．①②④⑥ B．①②③⑥ C．②④⑤⑥ D．①③④⑤ 3．The passage is mainly for ________. A．parents B．teenagers C．teachers D．doctors 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 【导语】本文介绍了青少年群体中无故情绪低落的常见现象，分析了引发这类不良情绪的相关诱因，同时给出了数种帮助青少年缓解、应对不良情绪的可行方法。 1．第五段提到“Here are some things you can do that might make those bad moods a bit easier to deal with”，下面的建议部分提到“Get enough sleep. Though it can be hard to find enough time, getting enough rest is very important. Being tired can lead to more sadness”，说明充足睡眠有助于缓解不良情绪，不会导致青少年情绪变差。 2．文中建议部分提到“Remember you’re not alone…they are common”“Talk to people you trust”“Get enough sleep”及“Create”，说明①②④⑥均为文中提到的应对情绪变化的有效方法，符合题意。 3．全文围绕青少年群体的情绪波动现象展开分析，相关内容和建议均以青少年为目标受众进行阐述。 Change is actually happening all around us. Whether it is the change of season from winter to spring, a change of favorite song, or it may even be a change of friendships. Change is something that influences everybody, but we don’t all experience or react to change in the same way. Some people are as “jumpy as a kangaroo” and can be affected by even a little change. However, other people can be as “cool as a cucumber”. It’s important to know that young people are not always physically or mentally ready to deal with changes. That’s because young people’s brains are still growing, and different parts have different functions (功能). That’s fantastic and interesting. The back part of your brain is all about keeping you alive, the middle of your brain controls your emotions, and the front part, also known as the prefrontal cortex, is still developing affecting your thoughts, big decisions and actions. These parts together can help you respond (反应) quickly in an emergency. For example, when the brain thinks the body may be in danger, the awareness of risks activates the sympathetic nervous system (交感神经系统) and leads to a quick stress response. It makes the heart beat faster so that it sends blood quickly to the different body parts that might need it. It prepares the body to fight or escape. When something unexpected happens, it can be not so easy to manage. So it’s normal for you teenagers to feel stressed when you are faced with a tough situation or decision. What you need to remember is this: you have a say in how you react to change. Rather than treat change like an enemy, we need to allow it to become our greatest friend. 1．Who in the following examples can be described as “cool as a cucumber”? A．Sally stayed calm in the face of danger. B．Lucy jumped up and down in excitement. C．Sitting under the shade of this tree, Eric felt really cool. D．When Alan heard the news of the car accident, he cried loudly. 2．The main idea of the third paragraph is ________. A．young people are not good at dealing with changes B．it’s interesting to know young people’s brains are growing quickly C．different parts with different functions of the brain can work together to respond D．the back of the brain plays an important role in influencing decisions and actions 3．The underlined word “it” in Para.4 refers to the ________. A．nervous system B．stress response C．brain part D．potential threat 4．It can be inferred the author may write ________ to continue the passage. A．some useful advice on what to do to lower stress B．some good suggestions on how to respond to change C．the reasons why controlling feelings is so important D．a few words of encouragement for teenagers to change themselves 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要围绕 “变化” 展开，介绍了变化对不同人的影响、青少年难以应对变化的生理原因（大脑发育特点）、身体的应激反应机制，并提出青少年应积极应对变化的观点。 1．第二段第2-3句“Some people are as ‘jumpy as a kangaroo’ and can be affected by even a little change. However, other people can be as ‘cool as a cucumber’. ”句中“However”表转折，说明cool as a cucumber与jumpy as a kangaroo（易受变化影响、情绪波动大）含义相反，即冷静、镇定。 2．第三段第二句“That’s because young people’s brains are still growing，and different parts have different functions”。 点明核心：年轻人的大脑仍在发育，不同的部分有不同功能。 3．第四段第1-2句“…leads to a quick stress response. It makes the heart beat faster so that it sends blood quickly to the different body parts that might need it”。代词“it”指代前文紧邻的单数名词/概念，前一句核心是“a quick stress response”，后文描述的 “心跳加快、供血加速” 正是应激反应的具体表现，因此“it”指代stress response。 4．第五段最后两句“What you need to remember is this: you have a say in how you react to change. Rather than treat change like an enemy, we need to allow it to become our greatest friend”。文章结尾提出了 “如何应对变化” 的核心观点，按照说明文逻辑，后文会承接该话题，给出具体的应对建议。 Last month, calls were made to raise the taxes for sugary drinks. This shows growing worry over the amount of sugar that kids are taking in through cola, juices and other beverages (饮料), a new study has found that one in five children did not drink any water on a given day and that those kids took in more calories from sweetened beverages than kids who did drink water. The study surveyed 8,400 children across the country between the ages of 2 and 19. Researchers found that around 20 percent of children were reported drinking no water throughout the day. And they took in almost twice as many calories as kids who did drink some water. Overall, the children drank 132 calories of colas and other sugary beverages per day. That number dropped to 112 calories if they drank any water. But kids who didn’t drink any water at all took in an average of 210 calories from sweetened drinks. This can cause a lot of problems. “Those calories don’t provide much nutrition (营养) and they can add up,” according to professor Asher, a scientist in public health. Sugary drinks have been linked to a number of diseases, such as childhood obesity, dental problems and high cholesterol. “I’ve seen 6-year-olds with high cholesterol and teenagers with Type 2 diabetes,” said Natalie, a doctor for children. “These are diseases we used to see in their grandparents.” “Kids should take in water every single day, and the first beverage choice for kids should be water,” according to Natalie. “Because if they’re not drinking water, they are drinking sugar-sweetened beverages that are less healthy and have more calories.” Adults should take up their responsibility to encourage kids to drink water so that they don’t take in something less healthful. And things need to be done to ensure childhood health. 1．What can we learn about children’s water drinking from the survey? A．Each of the children took in 210 calories per day. B．Most of the children drank enough water every day. C．Children who drank less water would take in more calories. D．The children who drank water took in twice as many calories. 2．How does the writer support his idea in paragraph 3? A．By showing professional views to show risks. B．By providing survey data to prove the influence of sugary drinks. C．By comparing health conditions between heavy and light sugary drinkers. D．By describing the forming process of related diseases. 3．Which is a direct result for children replacing water with sugary drinks? A．Taking in less effective nutrition. B．Gaining nutrition from extra calories. C．Developing strong immune systems. D．Reducing the risk of dental problems. 4．What is the purpose of this passage? A．To describe the harm of sweetened beverages. B．To compare water with sweetened beverages. C．To suggest some ways to help children live a healthier life. D．To introduce the importance of water drinking among children. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文围绕含糖饮料增税政策展开，通过调研数据说明儿童饮水不足、过量摄入含糖饮料的现状，分析了含糖饮料对儿童健康的危害，并呼吁鼓励儿童多喝水、保障儿童健康。 1．第二段提到“And they took in almost twice as many calories than kids who did drink some water.”，说明喝水少的孩子会摄入更多热量. 2．第三段作者引用了Asher教授、儿童医生的专业观点，说明含糖饮料带来的健康风险，以此支撑自己的观点。 3．第三段提到“Those calories don’t provide much nutrition”，说明用含糖饮料替代水的直接结果是摄入的有效营养减少。 4．全文先通过调研说明儿童饮水不足、含糖饮料摄入过量的问题，再分析危害，最后呼吁鼓励儿童多喝水，核心是介绍儿童饮水的重要性，D选项最贴合主旨。 On September 17, Instagram, a social media app, announced new rules for young users. The rules are made to protect millions of users under 18 and address growing worries about online safety. Instagram’s new plan is the special setting for people under 18 who use the app. This means these rules can control what teens can see and share, who they can talk to, and how long they can use the app each day. The app will stop strangers from sending direct messages to teens. At the same time, the app will hide bad words and unsuitable topics. Instagram will not send messages to teens between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. The changes also let parents check how long their kids use the app and see who they chat with.   These changes are made because many parents, doctors and government workers worry that social media is bad for teenagers as their brains are still growing. On many apps, teens may see unsuitable or adult information and get messages from people they don’t know. Apps are made to keep users looking for a long time. This leads to poor sleep and stress. “The changes are made to help parents feel safe, knowing their teens are protected.” Megan Moreno, a children’s health professor who studies teens and social media, called the app’s changes “very important.” But some people said even though Instagram’s work is a good start, it does not do enough. For example, the rules only work for teens who say they are under 18, but they do not stop teens who lie and say they are adults when making an account. Instagram said it is working on new ways to check users’ ages. The rules will go into effect in other parts of the world starting in January 2025. 1．What is the main purpose of the second paragraph? A．To explain why the new rules are important. B．To describe the exact changes in the new rules. C．To show how people feel about the new rules. D．To predict what will happen next. 2．The underlined word “address” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________. A．write down B．deal with C．look for D．hear from 3．According to Instagram’s new plan, what will happen to strangers who try to talk to teens? A．They will receive a warning message. B．Their direct messages will be blocked. C．They can only chat with teens during the day. D．Their messages will be deleted quickly. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．All experts agree that the new rules are perfect. B．The new rules will completely solve all online safety problems. C．Instagram will continue to improve its age-checking methods. D．The new rules will be the same for all countries at once. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了Instagram为保护青少年用户安全而推出的新规，包括具体措施、出台背景以及各方评价。 1．第二段详细说明了新规的具体内容，包括控制青少年看到和分享的内容、谁能与他们交流、使用时长限制、私信限制、不当内容屏蔽以及家长监督功能等，因此主要描述了新规的具体变化。 2．第一段指出新规旨在保护数百万18岁以下用户，并“address growing worries about online safety”，结合上下文，新规是为了应对日益增长的在线安全担忧，因此“address”意为“处理、应对”。 3．第二段明确指出：“The app will stop strangers from sending direct messages to teens”，说明陌生人与青少年之间的私信将被屏蔽。 4．最后一段提到：“Instagram said it is working on new ways to check users’ ages”，说明Instagram将继续改进年龄验证方法。 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整，并将其填到答题卷的相应位置。 Younger Chinese citizens have developed new ways to reduce stress, such as raising special “pets” or hugging trees. 1 It can bring a sense of calmness, according to Internet users. Surprisingly, “mango dogs” are actually mango seeds (种子), after the fruit is eaten. 2 After a mango is eaten, its seed is washed under clean water, brushed with a toothbrush, dried with a hairdryer, and then left in sunlight. Some Internet users find special meaning in the “mango dog”, saying that it is soft and cute and has a relaxing effect. For some Internet users, the process of creating a “mango dog” allows them to avoid the pressure of work and study, and experience a carefree childhood once again. 3 For example, college students have shared their experiences online of raising stone and paper box “dogs”. These “pets” share similar characteristics: they do not cry, make noise, or fall ill. 4 Many Internet users who have experienced tree hugging themselves have reported relief (减轻) from worries and a sense of connection with nature. In cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou, and Zhengzhou, some people have even formed “tree hugging groups” and regularly plan tree hugging activities. The popularity of these stress reduction methods reflects young people’s great need to reduce stress. 5 According to public data, there are more than 800 companies in China with names, products, or services related to stress reduction.

E．However, the “mango dog” is not the first special “pet”. F．Tree hugging has also become a new stress reduction activity for young people. G．Recently, a “pet” called the “mango dog” has gained popularity on social media. 【答案】1．G 2．A 3．E 4．F 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国年轻人通过养特殊“宠物”（如芒果狗）和抱树等新方式来减压的现象，分析了其原因并反映了相关的市场需求。 1．文章第1段提到“Younger Chinese citizens have developed new ways to reduce stress, such as raising special ‘pets’ or hugging trees.”及后文“It can bring a sense of calmness”，此处应具体引入一种流行的“宠物”话题，以便下文展开介绍。选项G“Recently, a ‘pet’ called the ‘mango dog’ has gained popularity on social media.”（最近，一种叫“芒果狗”的“宠物”在社交媒体上走红。）符合语境，引出下文对芒果狗的具体描述。 2．文章第2段提到“After a mango is eaten, its seed is washed under clean water, brushed with a toothbrush, dried with a hairdryer, and then left in sunlight.”，制作过程描述得较为日常且容易操作。选项A“Getting this ‘pet’ is quite simple.（获得这个“宠物”很简单。）与后文的制作步骤相呼应，符合逻辑。 3．文章第3段提到“For example, college students have shared their experiences online of raising stone and paper box ‘dogs’.”，芒果狗并非唯一的特殊宠物，此处需要过渡句引出其他例子。选项E“However, the ‘mango dog’ is not the first special ‘pet’. ”（然而，“芒果狗”并不是第一种特殊“宠物”）能自然引出后文关于其他宠物的例子。 4．文章第4段提到“Many Internet users who have experienced tree hugging themselves have reported relief (减轻) from worries and a sense of connection with nature.”，本段主要讲述抱树减压活动。选项F“Tree hugging has also become a new stress reduction activity for young people.”（抱树也成为年轻人的一种新的减压活动。）作为段首句概括了本段主题。 5．文章第5段提到“According to public data, there are more than 800 companies in China with names, products, or services related to stress reduction.”，此处涉及减压相关的商业市场数据。选项C“This provides a big market for stress reduction.”（这为减压提供了巨大的市场。）与后文的公司数据相吻合，总结了市场需求。 As middle school students, we often imagine our future. Will we invent things, help others, or create art? Thinking about the future guides our present efforts. Many students feel unsure about their future at first—and that’s normal. 1 For example, loving robot games might lead you to engineering, enjoying story-writing could point to a writing career. Trying new things connects hobbies to future roads. 2 Ask a veterinarian (兽医) how he helps animals, or interview a local artist. These conversations help you understand a job’s real work, not just its surface. Their stories show how to turn passion (热情) into work, and they may share tips for now. Setting goals doesn’t mean big plans. 3 If you want to be a teacher, teach a younger student. If you like space, read one astronomy book a month. Small steps make dreams achievable. The world changes, and new jobs will appear. 4 Learning a language, trying coding (编程), or joining debate club builds useful skills for any future job. Being open to learning prepares you for opportunities. It’s okay if your future ideas change—you might love medicine one year, then environmental science the next. 5 What matters is exploring (探索), asking questions, and doing your best today to build an exciting future. 根据语篇内容，从所给的选项中选择一个能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺。选项中有一项为多余项。 A．Talking to people in different jobs also helps. B．Stay curious and keep trying new things, even without a clear plan yet. C．Start with small daily goals that match your interests. D．The only way to find what you love is to try different things——join a club, take a new class. E．You don’t need to know your future job, just focus on skills useful for many jobs. F．Pick one job and stick to it, even if you lose interest later. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．E 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中学生如何通过尝试新事物、与他人交流、设定小目标、培养通用技能以及保持探索心态来为未来做准备。 1．前文讲很多学生一开始对未来迷茫，这很正常；后文举例爱好可以指引未来方向，尝试新爱好能对接未来道路。D项“The only way to find what you love is to try different things——join a club, take a new class.”承接上文的迷茫，引出下文尝试爱好的例子，逻辑通顺。 2．后文讲述向兽医、当地艺术家提问交流，通过对话了解真实的工作。A项“Talking to people in different jobs also helps.”作为本段总起句，引出和不同职业的人交谈的做法，和后文例子对应。   3．前文说设立目标不等于宏大计划；后文举例想当老师就辅导低年级学生，喜欢太空就每月读一本天文书，讲小步骤实现梦想。C项“Start with small daily goals that match your interests.”承接不要做大计划，引出匹配兴趣的日常小目标，呼应后文小步骤的例子。 4．前文讲世界会变化，会出现新职业；后文讲学语言、学编程、参加辩论社团培养通用技能。E项“You don’t need to know your future job, just focus on skills useful for many jobs.”承接新工作会出现，说明不必确定未来职业，重点培养多种工作都能用的技能，衔接下文技能培养的例子。 5．前文讲对未来的想法改变是正常的，今年热爱医学，明年可能喜欢环境科学；后文讲重要的是探索、提问、做好当下。B项“Stay curious and keep trying new things, even without a clear plan yet.”承接想法会发生改变，说明就算没有清晰规划，也要保持好奇不断尝试，和后文“探索、尽力做好当下”相呼应。   四、选词填空 根据短文内容，从下列方框中选择适当的单词或短语填空，使短文内容完整正确。 national,  worries,  are angry with,  Perhaps,  valuable Here are two letters between Mary and Diana.

My junior high school has entered its final year. Looking back, I had not only pains but also gains.      I used to be poor in public speaking and felt really nervous whenever I spoke before crowds. I was afraid of making mistakes and even avoided taking part in class activities. Luckily, my English teacher gave me lots of useful advice and encouraged me a lot. I kept practising speeches in my spare time and took every chance to show myself.      Slowly, I became braver and much more confident. Now I dare to speak in front of the whole class. From this experience, I learn that difficulties can push us to become better as long as we keep trying and never give up. 写作步骤 [第一步：审题立意] 确定文体：记叙文，以一般过去时、一般现在时为主 明确要点：遇到的成长烦恼；给予帮助的人；解决问题的方式；自身得到的成长与感悟 确定人称：第一人称（I/my） 注意事项：短文开头已给出，不计入总词数；词数100左右；不得使用真实的个人及学校信息 [第二步：构思布局] 采用三段式结构： 开头段：题干已提供，引出成长有苦也有收获的主题 主体段：叙述曾经遇到的烦恼，介绍得到的帮助以及解决问题的过程 结尾段：描述自身发生的改变，抒发成长感悟，升华主题 [第三步：要点展开] 要点一：遇到的成长烦恼 烦恼表现：be poor in public speaking/do badly in speaking/feel nervous before crowds等 心理状态：feel really nervous/be afraid of making mistakes/worry about others’ comments等 行为表现：avoid taking part in class activities/refuse to join in activities/hide myself in public等 要点二：获得的帮助 帮助来源：my English teacher/my deskmate/my close friend等 帮助方式：gave me lots of useful advice/encouraged me a lot/offered me suggestions/gave me warm encouragement等 要点三：解决问题的方式 练习行动：kept practising speeches/practised again and again/did more practice in daily life等 把握机会：took every chance to show myself/made full use of chances/tried more chances等 要点四：成长收获与感悟 自身变化：became braver/became much more confident/grew more self‑assured等 个人感悟：difficulties can push us to become better/hard work brings progress/never give up in face of troubles等 2．假定你是李辉，你的美国笔友Justin来信说他最近因为学习压力大而常常感到厌烦甚至无法正常入睡，希望你能给出一些建议。请你用英文给他写一封回信，内容包括： (1) 写信目的； (2) 具体建议； (3) 给予鼓励。 注意： (1) 词数80~100。开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； (2) 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 (3) 文章中不能出现真实姓名及学校名称。 Dear Justin, I have heard that you are suffering from a lot of pressure. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hui 【答案】Possible version: Dear Justin, I have heard that you are suffering from a lot of pressure.

She saw many teenagers feel lonely 8 sad. Some of them are too 9 to reach out for help. While it can’t take the place of 10 , the app can work together with their help. “The prompts (提醒) in the guided diary are made just for 11 ,” Kumbala said.

We can share many things about our life and study on it with our friends. Recently, some students had a discussion on whether to allow our parents to see our Moments. YES NO Laura, 15: I think it’s meaningful to let parents see our Moments. As teenagers, sometimes we do need our parents’ help, especially in terms of social experiences. What’s more, shutting them off from Moments makes the generation gap (代沟) bigger and bigger, while inviting them in can help us to communicate and feel closer to each other. Robin, 14: I don’t allow my parents to see my Moments. Everyone needs some privacy and we all have our own secrets and lifestyles. If my parents could see my posts, they may push me around with their ideas, which would be unacceptable to me even though it would show their love and care. After all, some kind of distance is better. Jason, 16: Most of my friends keep parents out of their Moments. However, I feel happy when my parents comment on my posts in my Moments. It shows their love and care for me. It also makes them happy and stops them from worrying about me. We’ll leave them when we grow up. Why not cherish (珍惜) every chance to be there for each other? Stella, 15: I believe blocking (屏蔽) our parents in Moments is not a bad idea. Online social media is mainly a way of communicating with friends of our own age. We can have more freedom to develop our thoughts and interests. Besides, we don’t have to worry that our parents are there. If they can read our daily posts, it sometimes may create a lot of misunderstandings. Do you have your own opinions about this? Post your ideas to our website https://weixin.com. 1．What may Laura think of allowing parents to see the Moments? A．Useless. B．Common. C．Helpful. D．Terrible 2．How many students agree parents show love and care through Moments? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 3．Who do you think may keep parents out of Moments? A．Tony, who always cherishes the time together with his parents. B．Lisa, who often asks her parents for help when getting in trouble. C．Lily, who thinks inviting parents in Moments shows love to each other. D．Martin, who likes to share his ideas with his friends or classmates. Do you ever find yourself getting really unhappy for almost no reason? Or suddenly feeling down without knowing why? But why is the feeling so common among teens? Maybe you’re starting a new school and not able to see old friends. Getting good grades or wanting to be better in sports or other activities can be a concern (烦心事) for many teens. Being accepted by friends is important. Teens also may notice, for the first time, a sense of distance from parents and family. You may feel you want to be on your own and make your own decisions, but it can also seem a bit lonely at times. Another important cause for mood changes is biology. When puberty (青春期) begins, the body starts producing hormones (荷尔蒙). These hormones cause physical changes in the body. But at the same time, they also seem to cause mood changes. Here are some things you can do that might make those bad moods a bit easier to deal with. ●Remember you’re not alone. Although not every teen experiences mood changes to the same degree, they are common. ●Talk to people you trust. Friends can help each other by realizing that they’re not alone in their feelings. Talking to parents is important, too. Parents can share their own experiences dealing with bad moods. Teachers are often good resources and a doctor can help to answer questions about development. ●Get enough sleep. Though it can be hard to find enough time, getting enough rest is very important. Being tired can lead to more sadness. ●Create. Taking part in some kinds of activities, like building something out of wood, or starting an art or music piece. 1．________ may not make some teens be in bad moods. A．Study pressure B．Missing old friends C．The sense of distance from parents D．Getting enough sleep 2．It’s easier to deal with your mood changes by ________. ①realizing they are common        ②explaining your feelings to people you trust ③playing computer games        ④being creative ⑤starting a new school        ⑥getting enough sleep A．①②④⑥ B．①②③⑥ C．②④⑤⑥ D．①③④⑤ 3．The passage is mainly for ________. A．parents B．teenagers C．teachers D．doctors Change is actually happening all around us. Whether it is the change of season from winter to spring, a change of favorite song, or it may even be a change of friendships. Change is something that influences everybody, but we don’t all experience or react to change in the same way. Some people are as “jumpy as a kangaroo” and can be affected by even a little change. However, other people can be as “cool as a cucumber”. It’s important to know that young people are not always physically or mentally ready to deal with changes. That’s because young people’s brains are still growing, and different parts have different functions (功能). That’s fantastic and interesting. The back part of your brain is all about keeping you alive, the middle of your brain controls your emotions, and the front part, also known as the prefrontal cortex, is still developing affecting your thoughts, big decisions and actions. These parts together can help you respond (反应) quickly in an emergency. For example, when the brain thinks the body may be in danger, the awareness of risks activates the sympathetic nervous system (交感神经系统) and leads to a quick stress response. It makes the heart beat faster so that it sends blood quickly to the different body parts that might need it. It prepares the body to fight or escape. When something unexpected happens, it can be not so easy to manage. So it’s normal for you teenagers to feel stressed when you are faced with a tough situation or decision. What you need to remember is this: you have a say in how you react to change. Rather than treat change like an enemy, we need to allow it to become our greatest friend. 1．Who in the following examples can be described as “cool as a cucumber”? A．Sally stayed calm in the face of danger. B．Lucy jumped up and down in excitement. C．Sitting under the shade of this tree, Eric felt really cool. D．When Alan heard the news of the car accident, he cried loudly. 2．The main idea of the third paragraph is ________. A．young people are not good at dealing with changes B．it’s interesting to know young people’s brains are growing quickly C．different parts with different functions of the brain can work together to respond D．the back of the brain plays an important role in influencing decisions and actions 3．The underlined word “it” in Para.4 refers to the ________. A．nervous system B．stress response C．brain part D．potential threat 4．It can be inferred the author may write ________ to continue the passage. A．some useful advice on what to do to lower stress B．some good suggestions on how to respond to change C．the reasons why controlling feelings is so important D．a few words of encouragement for teenagers to change themselves Last month, calls were made to raise the taxes for sugary drinks. This shows growing worry over the amount of sugar that kids are taking in through cola, juices and other beverages (饮料), a new study has found that one in five children did not drink any water on a given day and that those kids took in more calories from sweetened beverages than kids who did drink water. The study surveyed 8,400 children across the country between the ages of 2 and 19. Researchers found that around 20 percent of children were reported drinking no water throughout the day. And they took in almost twice as many calories as kids who did drink some water. Overall, the children drank 132 calories of colas and other sugary beverages per day. That number dropped to 112 calories if they drank any water. But kids who didn’t drink any water at all took in an average of 210 calories from sweetened drinks. This can cause a lot of problems. “Those calories don’t provide much nutrition (营养) and they can add up,” according to professor Asher, a scientist in public health. Sugary drinks have been linked to a number of diseases, such as childhood obesity, dental problems and high cholesterol. “I’ve seen 6-year-olds with high cholesterol and teenagers with Type 2 diabetes,” said Natalie, a doctor for children. “These are diseases we used to see in their grandparents.” “Kids should take in water every single day, and the first beverage choice for kids should be water,” according to Natalie. “Because if they’re not drinking water, they are drinking sugar-sweetened beverages that are less healthy and have more calories.” Adults should take up their responsibility to encourage kids to drink water so that they don’t take in something less healthful. And things need to be done to ensure childhood health. 1．What can we learn about children’s water drinking from the survey? A．Each of the children took in 210 calories per day. B．Most of the children drank enough water every day. C．Children who drank less water would take in more calories. D．The children who drank water took in twice as many calories. 2．How does the writer support his idea in paragraph 3? A．By showing professional views to show risks. B．By providing survey data to prove the influence of sugary drinks. C．By comparing health conditions between heavy and light sugary drinkers. D．By describing the forming process of related diseases. 3．Which is a direct result for children replacing water with sugary drinks? A．Taking in less effective nutrition. B．Gaining nutrition from extra calories. C．Developing strong immune systems. D．Reducing the risk of dental problems. 4．What is the purpose of this passage? A．To describe the harm of sweetened beverages. B．To compare water with sweetened beverages. C．To suggest some ways to help children live a healthier life. D．To introduce the importance of water drinking among children. On September 17, Instagram, a social media app, announced new rules for young users. The rules are made to protect millions of users under 18 and address growing worries about online safety. Instagram’s new plan is the special setting for people under 18 who use the app. This means these rules can control what teens can see and share, who they can talk to, and how long they can use the app each day. The app will stop strangers from sending direct messages to teens. At the same time, the app will hide bad words and unsuitable topics. Instagram will not send messages to teens between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. The changes also let parents check how long their kids use the app and see who they chat with.   These changes are made because many parents, doctors and government workers worry that social media is bad for teenagers as their brains are still growing. On many apps, teens may see unsuitable or adult information and get messages from people they don’t know. Apps are made to keep users looking for a long time. This leads to poor sleep and stress. “The changes are made to help parents feel safe, knowing their teens are protected.” Megan Moreno, a children’s health professor who studies teens and social media, called the app’s changes “very important.” But some people said even though Instagram’s work is a good start, it does not do enough. For example, the rules only work for teens who say they are under 18, but they do not stop teens who lie and say they are adults when making an account. Instagram said it is working on new ways to check users’ ages. The rules will go into effect in other parts of the world starting in January 2025. 1．What is the main purpose of the second paragraph? A．To explain why the new rules are important. B．To describe the exact changes in the new rules. C．To show how people feel about the new rules. D．To predict what will happen next. 2．The underlined word “address” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________. A．write down B．deal with C．look for D．hear from 3．According to Instagram’s new plan, what will happen to strangers who try to talk to teens? A．They will receive a warning message. B．Their direct messages will be blocked. C．They can only chat with teens during the day. D．Their messages will be deleted quickly. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．All experts agree that the new rules are perfect. B．The new rules will completely solve all online safety problems. C．Instagram will continue to improve its age-checking methods. D．The new rules will be the same for all countries at once. 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整，并将其填到答题卷的相应位置。 Younger Chinese citizens have developed new ways to reduce stress, such as raising special “pets” or hugging trees. 1 It can bring a sense of calmness, according to Internet users. Surprisingly, “mango dogs” are actually mango seeds (种子), after the fruit is eaten. 2 After a mango is eaten, its seed is washed under clean water, brushed with a toothbrush, dried with a hairdryer, and then left in sunlight. Some Internet users find special meaning in the “mango dog”, saying that it is soft and cute and has a relaxing effect. For some Internet users, the process of creating a “mango dog” allows them to avoid the pressure of work and study, and experience a carefree childhood once again. 3 For example, college students have shared their experiences online of raising stone and paper box “dogs”. These “pets” share similar characteristics: they do not cry, make noise, or fall ill. 4 Many Internet users who have experienced tree hugging themselves have reported relief (减轻) from worries and a sense of connection with nature. In cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou, and Zhengzhou, some people have even formed “tree hugging groups” and regularly plan tree hugging activities. The popularity of these stress reduction methods reflects young people’s great need to reduce stress. 5 According to public data, there are more than 800 companies in China with names, products, or services related to stress reduction. A．Getting this “pet” is quite simple. B．To make this “pet” is a highly challenging task. C．This provides a big market for stress reduction. D．It also reflects that young people have great pressure. E．However, the “mango dog” is not the first special “pet”. F．Tree hugging has also become a new stress reduction activity for young people. G．Recently, a “pet” called the “mango dog” has gained popularity on social media. As middle school students, we often imagine our future. Will we invent things, help others, or create art? Thinking about the future guides our present efforts. Many students feel unsure about their future at first—and that’s normal. 1 For example, loving robot games might lead you to engineering, enjoying story-writing could point to a writing career. Trying new things connects hobbies to future roads. 2 Ask a veterinarian (兽医) how he helps animals, or interview a local artist. These conversations help you understand a job’s real work, not just its surface. Their stories show how to turn passion (热情) into work, and they may share tips for now. Setting goals doesn’t mean big plans. 3 If you want to be a teacher, teach a younger student. If you like space, read one astronomy book a month. Small steps make dreams achievable. The world changes, and new jobs will appear. 4 Learning a language, trying coding (编程), or joining debate club builds useful skills for any future job. Being open to learning prepares you for opportunities. It’s okay if your future ideas change—you might love medicine one year, then environmental science the next. 5 What matters is exploring (探索), asking questions, and doing your best today to build an exciting future. 根据语篇内容，从所给的选项中选择一个能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺。选项中有一项为多余项。 A．Talking to people in different jobs also helps. B．Stay curious and keep trying new things, even without a clear plan yet. C．Start with small daily goals that match your interests. D．The only way to find what you love is to try different things——join a club, take a new class. E．You don’t need to know your future job, just focus on skills useful for many jobs. F．Pick one job and stick to it, even if you lose interest later. 四、选词填空 根据短文内容，从下列方框中选择适当的单词或短语填空，使短文内容完整正确。 national,  worries,  are angry with,  Perhaps,  valuable Here are two letters between Mary and Diana.
